It takes a Child to raise a Village / FREE (AL)
Corpo Máquina Society | NL
In It takes a Child to raise a Village/ FREE, freerunning and theater come together in an interactive encounter with children from Den Bosch West. Last year, choreographer Guilherme Miotto's company Corpo Máquina Society invited children to go on a journey of discovery with freestyle football players and dancers in the gymnasium of BBS de Kruiskamp. With It takes a Child to raise a Village/FREE, the company returns to this location.
Location
BBS De Kruiskamp
Running time
90 min.
Genre
Theater, Dans, Muziek
At the upcoming festival, actors, musicians and freerunners will work with children from 's-Hertogenbosch West. Freerunning is a mix of acrobatics and sports on/under/over/along walls, benches, bike racks, etc. Urban, stylish and tough.
With It takes a Child to raise a Village, Corpo Máquina Society has started a multi-year trajectory with projects in which adult performers are instructed to put the children at the center and to serve their proposals and curiosity. The conviction of Corpo Máquina: young people can change society. Extra magic of this project: children show their talents, which is also proven by the daily presentations. A participating girl from the neighbourhood fell madly in love with a violin last year and the visitors fell in love with her.
At 3:00 pm the doors of the gymnasium open and the children are welcome to get to work with the performers. From 4:30 pm the audience is welcome to watch and children from the age of 8 can participate if they wish.
Relaxed performance
This performance is a relaxed performance.
• There is an open, free atmosphere.
• During the hour and a half that the gymnasium is open to the audience, people can walk in and out.
• It doesn't have to be completely quiet, people can talk.
• People can walk and there is a possibility to film.

It takes a Child to raise a Village/FREE is part of Lijn73, in which we work with makers who have or want to develop a special commitment to the city.
